ROLL ON BIG JOE (5) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 1. 3 lengths over 6f in stakes class at this track (Dirt). That continued the good form this campaign, with six wins and four minor placings from 13 outings. Can measure up again. BOURBON BASH (4) returned from a nearly two years break over 6f last start and got the job done by 2. 25 lengths in Listed grade at this track (Dirt). Yet to miss the frame in five starts over this course and distance. Will find this much easier. Best form puts him right in this. WENDELSSOHN (3) finished 5 lengths from the winner in fourth last time out at Listed level at Fairgrounds (Turf) over 5½f. Has a very good record over this journey with four wins from seven starts. Change of rider to Tyler W Bacon who has an excellent strike rate when in the saddle, including three wins. Sure to be competitive. DURANTE (9) has been freshened up since he finished sixth over 6f in stakes class at this track (Dirt) eight weeks ago. Top-three contender.
